Basilica di santa Maria in Valvendra, Renaissance basilica in Lovere, Italy.

Basilica di Santa Maria in Valvendra is a church with three naves supported by cylindrical columns and a barrel-vaulted ceiling. The building extends across a large interior with multiple side chapels, each containing frescoes and paintings from different periods.

Construction ran from 1473 to 1483 on an artificial terrace above the Val Vendra stream, which was diverted and channelled to make room; the project was financed by Lovere's wool-cloth merchants, whose coats of arms appear in the hall. The church was consecrated on 5 August 1520. In 1686 the Franciscans were replaced by Barnabites, and the convent was suppressed in 1769.

The church was built as a votive offering to the Virgin by Lovere's wealthy wool-cloth merchants, whose coats of arms still appear in the hall. The Franciscans cared for it and added convent buildings; in 1515 Brescia Cathedral donated organ shutters painted by Moretto.

The main front faces the Val Vendra slope and is reached by a staircase in Simona stone, under a portico with three cross-vaulted bays per side, built in 1520. The side entrance stands opposite the entrance of the 16th-century Palazzo Bazzini. The slope along the stream runs at 10 to 12 percent, so the approach climbs.

The marble high altar created by Andrea Fantoni between 1719 and 1720 features a hidden system for displaying consecrated bread. This ornate piece demonstrates the craftsmanship and religious care that went into furnishing this church.
